Is it Wise to Rent a Hospital Bed After TT Surgery?

I have never recommended renting a hospital bed after a tummy tuck.  Although your surgeon will probably want you bent slightly at the waist after surgery, it is pretty easy to do this with a standard bed and some pillows.  Good luck!

It usually is not needed. Most of the time a good recliner is all you need but more important is having some reliable help around the house for 7 days to so

It is not necessary to rent a hospital bed after your surgery. If you want to sleep in your own bed, I recommend placing three pillows behind your back and a pillow under your knees so that you maintain your body in a beach chair position. The length of time can be discussed with your surgeon. Save your money for all the new clothes you'll need after surgery!

Thanks for your question and best of luck!
